 | View Full Version : Unlimited Bandwith issues manray 12-03-2001, 04:42 PM I came across a web hosting company that offers unlimited traffic/bandwidth. I called and asked and the people there said they own the backbone. So it doesn't cost them anything. Can this be true or are they pulling my chain? The company is 1dollarhosting. They offer $1/per month hosting. Please advise Thanks :cartman: 311 12-03-2001, 04:59 PM Ask them for some pics of their datacenter, if you think they are lying;) (Which They Probably Are...) Edit- and also they are using cogent UmBillyCord 12-03-2001, 05:12 PM I called and asked and the people there said they own the backbone Actually it is true. They own "1dollartier1backbone". They are direct competiors to the UUnets and AT&T's of the world who also own their own backbones. :) Not sure how they are as a host, but they are lying about owning their own backbone. 311 12-03-2001, 05:13 PM Originally posted by UmBillyCord Actually it is true.

Has anyone here head of the H2O pipe connection joke? I think it was Business2.0 or Redherring that had it. It had me Hook, Line, and Sinker. I was going nut's over it, untill I call a pal, then I was told it was a joke. What great writing. - Sqposter / Michael Jonah 12-03-2001, 10:43 PM Originally posted by netsolutions I don't think you want to get some of the guys hear even started on talking about unlimited bandwidth.
